Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine stated on Friday that he supports the Hyde Amendment barring federal funding for abortions, while his running mate, Hillary Clinton, calls for its repeal.

Kaine was asked during an interview on CNN where he stood on the issue after conflicting reports on the matter. On July 6 he told The Weekly Standard that he has “traditionally been a supporter of the Hyde amendment.” But according to Bloomberg, representatives of both Kaine and Clinton said Tuesday that the Virginia senator had stated privately that he would support the amendment’s repeal.

“Kaine has flip flopped his position on taxpayer funding of abortion five times in the last month. This is getting old,” said Mallory Quigley, a spokeswoman for the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, Politico reported.

When Kaine, who is a Catholic, ran for governor in 2005, he described himself as someone who supports the “sanctity of human life.”

As governor, he signed into law an informed consent provision, requiring women to obtain an ultrasound before undergoing an abortion. He also supported a parental consent law.

However, since becoming a U.S. senator in 2013, Kaine has a 100 percent pro-choice voting record, according to NARAL Pro-Choice America. “He voted against dangerous abortion bans, he has fought against efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, and he voted to strengthen clinic security by establishing a federal fund for it,” said NARAL President Ilyse Hogue.

Hogue called Kaine’s comments Friday on CNN “deeply disappointing” in a tweet that has since been deleted. “While we appreciate Senator Kaine’s clarification that he will support the nominee’s position on this, we sincerely hope that Senator Kaine will continue to educate himself on what Hyde means to the most vulnerable women in this country and join us in fighting this injustice,” a statement included in the tweet said before it was removed, The Hill reported.
